Description for Chevrolet Other Pickups 1953

1953 Chevy 3100: The 1948-1953 Chevrolet Series 3100 half-ton pickups benefited from a redesign that took Chevy trucks into a new era of comfort. convenience. and style. Chevy's restyled "Advance-Design" trucks were  introduced in 1947. well ahead of its first new postwar cars. and little changed in appearance through 1953. The basic intent was to provide more room and comfort for occupants. All Advance-Design pickups had a new bench seat  accommodating three persons. instead of the old separate seats -- and for the first time the seat was adjustable for leg reach. The cab. described as "Unisteel Battleship" construction. was larger in every direction. New extra-wide  doors swung open on concealed hinges and extended down to cover the sills. Interiors were more colorful than ever before on a commercial Chevrolet. and the dashboard was functional and more glittery. Mechanical conveniences included  interior door locks. a large steering wheel. new steering geometry for less effort. more conveniently positioned foot pedals. an accessory radio. roomy glovebox. and full needle instrumentation. The 1948-1953 Chevrolet Series 3100  half-ton pickups also featured "four-fold ventilation" through the easy-crank-down side windows. cowl-top ventilator. foot-operated floor vent. and a fresh-air inlet on the curb side of the cowl. With less than 300 miles of ashphalt meeting the tires since a total restoration was completed. you will be hard pressed to find a nicer Chevy 3100! This recent arrival needed only a quick bath and was ready for a photo shoot. Everything on  the truck works like it should and it presents even nicer in person than it does in photos. Even the underside of the truck is immaculate. During the restoration. all of wiring was replaced and power was converted to a 12V system. This  3100 needs nothing and we wouldn't hesitate to jump in it and drive it anywhere. It starts easily. shifts smoothly. stops like it should. and does great at highway speeds.
